WATCH: Jo Nattawut fends off American star Luke Lessei with textbook 6-piece combination in Bangkok barnburner

Jo Nattawut had the pleasure of welcoming American Muay Thai star Luke Lessei in ONE Championship in December 2023 for the co-main event of ONE Fight Night 17 in a featherweight Muay Thai clash.

Nattawut and Lessei exceeded expectations with an all-time classic of a bout that saw them go back and forth throughout the contest. One particular moment during the fight was recently published by ONE Championship on their Instagram account, and they captioned it with:

"On fire 🔥 From 1-10, rate "Smokin" Jo Nattawut's chances of winning the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title when he faces Tawanchai at ONE 167 on @primevideo 👑 @jonattawut"

In that sequence, 'Smokin' Jo was lighting up 'The Chef' with a 6-piece punch combination that landed on his head and body, which forced him to back up. That combination was only an example of the Thai Top Team representative's masterful performance, which awarded him the unanimous decision victory over the 28-year-old athlete.
